The founder of Agape Evangelical Ministries (City of Miracles), Obikabia Junction, near Aba, Abia State, Bishop Otu Timothy, has been arrested by the Police in the State over the death of a female Evangelist he lodged in a guest house with.

The deceased, simply identified as “Evangelist Happiness,” was said to be married with five children.

She was said to have died in one of the rooms at ‘Jubilee Guest House’ Ovom, in the Ogborhill area of Aba, where she lodged with Bishop Otu.

Management of the Guest House, disclosed that the incident happened about 11pm on Saturday, August 12, 2023, when the Bishop was said to have pretentiously fled the place after telling the receptionist on duty that he was going to buy some food outside the guest house.

Suspecting that something was awry with his departure when he didn’t return, the manager of the guest house invited police from the Eastern Ngwa Police Station in Obingwa LGA, at 1am on Sunday morning, and upon their arrival, the victim was found naked and foaming in her mouth and nose.

It was further revealed that the late evangelist who hails from Umuakatawom in Obingwa LGA was a member of the Agape Evangelical Ministries Inc, founded by the said bishop.

Information gleaned from text messages the duo exchanged over time suggests they were in a romantic affair hence the suspicion that the woman may have died during a sex bout with the cleric.

However, the fleeing cleric was later apprehended at his church, located at the Obikabia Junction, when undercover detectives traced and attended in plain clothes, his Sunday Service during which he was said to have centred his preaching on repentance.

Bishop Otu at present being detained at the Eastern Ngwa Police Station in Obingwa LGA, where the investigation is ongoing.

Meanwhile, the victim’s husband who could not be identified as at press time, was said to be out of the state, in Bayelsa State, where he works.

The Police Public Relations Officer, Abịa State Police Command, Maureen Chinaka, (ASP) said she was yet to have the details of the incident.
